FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to imaging; specifically, positron emission tomography (PET). More specifically, it relates to radiopharmaceuticals used in PET. More particularly, it relates to formulations for imaging, diagnosing and grading prostate cancer to find metastases and to monitor treatment.

BACKGROUND

Prostate cancer is a relatively common type of cancer and the second leading cause of death in men. There are currently no reliable, non-invasive diagnostic tests available for prostate cancer and the only way to fully confirm the diagnosis of prostate cancer is a biopsy. A PSA (prostate specific antigen) test is the only available tumor marker, but PSA blood levels can be elevated for a number of reasons and do not necessary correlate with prostate cancer. Also, there are rare types of aggressive prostate cancers that cannot be diagnosed with the PSA test. This test for screening therefore has limitations and is still controversial.

Further, prostate-related PET tracers known in the art; e.g., mAb PET tracers, are associated with low clearance (high blood activity) due to prolonged biologic half life of the antibody. This generally leads to low tumor-to-muscle ratios.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description will describe the invention in relation to advantageous embodiments thereof. The invention is in no way limited to these advantageous embodiments as they are purely included to exemplify the invention and the invention is intended to include possible variations and modifications as would be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type 2 integral membrane glycoprotein found in prostate tissues and a few other tissues. Expression of PSMA increases proportional to tumor aggressiveness and there is a correlation between PSMA expression and severity of cancer. PSMA has shown to have glutamate carboxypeptidase II activity and catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of glutamates from peptides or small molecules. It has been determined that this enzymatic activity of PSMA can be exploited for the design of substrate-based inhibitors. Labeled with [F18], these in turn can be used as PET imaging agents to detect cells expressing PSMA. A PET scan with a PSMA tracer provides a non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect and grade the patient's prostate cancer and allow the physician to choose appropriate treatment methods.

Crystal structures of the active site have been published and show two zinc atoms coordinated by His and Glu/Asp residues, while Arg residues stabilize the C-terminal glutamate-containing substrate. In one embodiment of this invention, we provide substrate based inhibitors in which amide bonds may be replaced with non-hydrolyzable groups such as reverse amides, semi-carbazides, ureas, or heterocycles to name a few. In order to produce a PET ligand, [F18] may be introduced via “click chemistry,” which is particularly suitable for labeling of these highly polar and acidic precursors and will provide an advantage over conventional labeling methods as the click reaction is a one step, fast, and high yielding step.

In some embodiments, the present invention is a urea based PET tracer. Many of these are strong inhibitors (Ki=24 nM) of PSMA and contain a triazole side chain generated through a click reaction, which allows for a fast radiosynthesis of the [F18] tracer. Generally, the compounds of the present invention have better PK/clearance profiles than existing compounds.

i. General Reaction Procedures:

1. General Procedure for the Formation of Amide:

A mixture of 1 (1.0 equv.), various acid (1.0 equv.), EDC HCl (1.0 equiv.), and HOBt (1.0 equiv.) in DMF (4.0 mL) was stirred at room temperature overnight, concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on flash column chromatography (silical gel, 20-80% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the desired product.

2. General Procedure for the Removal of Tert-Butyl Group from Esters:

A mixture of compound 2 in TFA/DCM/TIPS (1:1:0.01) was stirred at room temperature for 1-2 hrs, concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by either HPLC.

3. General Procedure for the N-Alkylation:

A mixture of amine (1.0 equiv.), bromide (1.1 equiv.), and triethylamine (3.0 equiv.) in DMF (8.0 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 3 days, and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified on flash column chromatography (silica gel, 5-50% EtOAc/hexanes) to give the desired product.

4. General Procedure for “Click Chemistry”:

To a solution of 2 (1.0 equiv.), 5-fluoropent-1-yne (1.0 equiv.), and aqueous CuSO₄ solution (0.1 M, 1.0 equiv.) in THF (2.0 mL) was added sodium ascorbate (2.1 equiv.). The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr, and then concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with water, extracted with DCM (2×10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO₄), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was either purified by HPLC or used directly in the next step without any further purification.

5. General Procedure for Removal of Benzyl Group:

A mixture of a benzylated compound and Pd/C (10%, catalytic amount) in MeOH (15 mL) was stirred at room temperature under H₂ atmosphere (1 atm) for 2-4 hrs. The mixture was then filtered through a short Celite pad, washed with MeOH. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was either purified by HPLC or used directly in the next step without any further purification.

6. General Procedure for Urea Formation:

Enzymatic Assay for In Vitro Evaluation of PSMA Inhibitors

The inhibitory activity of all compounds was determined using a fluorescent assay of human PSMA activity. The enzyme used in the assay was purchased from R&D Systems and stored at −80° C. The PSMA activity was assayed in a two-step process. In the first step, aliquots of enzyme (0.2 μg/mL) were incubated for 1 h at 37° C. in 50 mM HEPES, 0.1 M NaCl, pH 7.5, in the presence of 20 μM NAAG and the given inhibitor, in a volume of 250 μL, to allow for the accumulation of glutamate produced in the PSMA reaction. In the second step, the amount of accumulated glutamate was measured using the OPA reaction, and the fluorescence was read with a SpectraMax fluorescent plate reader using excitation at 330 nm and emission at 450 nm. The final Ki values for each inhibitor were calculated from the respective IC50 values using the Cheng and Prusoff equation.

Preparation of Radio-F-18 Labeled P005, P053, P092, and P188.

1. Preparation of [F-18]Fluoride and Conversion to Anhydrous Form:

Aqueous [F-18]fluoride ion produced in the cyclotron target, is passed through an anion exchange resin cartridge. The [O-18]H₂O readily passes through the anion exchange resin while [F-18]fluoride is retained. The [F-18]fluoride is eluted from the column using a solution of potassium carbonate (3 mg) in water (0.4 mL) and is collected in a reaction vessel. Kryptofix® 222 (20 mg) dissolved in acetonitrile (1 mL) is added to the aqueous [F-18]fluoride in the reaction vessel. The Kryptofix sequesters the potassium ions preventing the formation of strong K+/F on-pairs. This increases the chemical reactivity of the [F-18]fluoride ions. The mixture is dried by heating between 68-95° C. under reduced pressure (250 mbar) and a stream of argon. This evaporation step removes the water and converts the [F-18] to an anhydrous complex, which is much more reactive than aqueous [F-18]fluoride.

2. Reaction of Anhydrous [F-18]Fluoride with Pentynyl Tosylate.

A solution of the tosylate precursor, (20 mg, 75 μmol) dissolved in THF or MeCN or DMF (0.5 mL) is added to the reaction vessel containing the anhydrous [F-18]Fluoride. The vessel is heated to approximately 110±5° C. for 3 minutes to induce displacement of the tosylate leaving group by [F-18]fluoride. The 18-F-fluoropentyne is distilled from the reaction vessel into the mixture containing the PSMA (azide) precursor.

3. Coupling of 18F-Fluoropentyne with PSMA Azide Precursor to Prepare [F-18]PSMA Tracer.

The 18F-pentyne is distilled at room temperature (bubbled) into a solution containing Azide-precursor (4 mg) dissolved in 250 μL of 0.1 M CuSO₄, sodium ascorbate (40 mg), and EtOH (0.1 mL). The reaction is stirred at room temperature for 15-30 minutes. Prior to purification by HPLC, the reaction is diluted with water (up to 5 mL).

4. HPLC Purification of [F-18]PSMA Tracer.

The reaction mixture containing crude [F-18]PSMA tracer is transferred to the HPLC sample loop (5 mL) and purified via chromatographic separation using a semi-preparative HPLC column (Phenomenex Gemini, C18, 5μ, 10×250 mm) using appropriate mobile phase with flow rate of 5 mL/min. The column effluent is monitored using UV (220, 254 or 280 nm) and radiometric detectors connected in series. The purified [F-18]PSMA tracer is collected from the column at the retention time window determined for the reference standard which coincides with the time that the radiometric detectors begin showing the main peak.

5. Formulation of Purified [F-18]PSMA Tracer.

The purified [F-18]PSMA tracer fraction is evaporated at 40° C. to dryness and final dose is reformulated in a maximum of 10% EtOH:water.

Small Animal In Vivo PET Imaging

MicroPET/CT.

Tumor-bearing mice (LNCaP, PSMA+, PC-3, PSMA-) were anesthetized with 2% isoflurane/98% oxygen and administered with ˜250 μCi/mouse of tracer in a total volume of 200 μl saline via bolus intravenous tail vein injection. An INVEON Multimodality scanner (SIEMENS) was used to perform the microPET/CT imaging. For dynamic scans, imaging was performed immediately following the tracer injection for two hours. Animals were kept warm and under anesthesia during this time period. For static scans, the animals first underwent a one hour conscious uptake, and was then anesthetized prior to and during imaging. Animals were scanned for 15-30 minutes and a static image was generated from each scan. All mice underwent a 10 minute micro-CT scan for anatomical registration. Uptake of the tracer was obtained by visually drawing regions of interest (ROIs) based on the fused PET/CT images and the corresponding activity values were determined using the INVEON Research Workplace software. All values are represented as % injected dose per gram tissue (% ID/g). In order to take into account mouse-to-mouse variation of background tracer uptake, tumor uptake values was also normalized to uptake values in the skeletal muscle, represented as tumor-over-muscle (T/M) ratios.
